Throughout my entire life, I have always opened my eyes AS I awakened. One morning I woke up without opening my eyes, and actually didn't realize it. I lay there for some time, thinking it was before before dawn because it was dark in the room. When something made me open my eyes, I was shocked that the room was bright and sunny. (This was probably before I got my CPAP machine, and I imagine I was just plain tired.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-58721343656278241702011-08-12T16:53:48.689-04:002011-08-12T16:53:48.689-04:00Gosh Darn!

Making the wrong diagnosis four times in a row, each time with more expensive tests, he finally notices that the patient never takes sugar in his coffee and makes the brilliant diagnosis only he could make.<br /><br />Everyone is suitable impressed, since House, having graduated from the John Edwards school of Jedi Mind Tricks, has erased from everyone's memory his frequent incorrect diagnoses and the numerous times he's nearly killed a patient.<br /><br />The county sheriff deliver an eviction notice to the gnome and everybody lives happily ever after, except the patient with the $1,200,982.78 bill for the world's most expensive workup, ever. And, of course, the now homeless little gnome.Wayne Conradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10595005905880642013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-64080197724774834432011-08-06T08:54:36.003-04:002011-08-06T08:54:36.003-04:00Psych consult for coming in to the ER with this co...Psych consult for coming in to the ER with this complaint.Malnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-53584501554495724332011-08-06T05:46:19.317-04:002011-08-06T05:46:19.317-04:00Is this an ongoing problem, or new onset?
